BPY is Brookfield Asset Management s ( Brookfield ) primary vehicle to make investments across all strategies in real estate Our goal is to be the leading global owner and operator of high-quality real estate, generating an attractive total return for our unitholders comprised of: 1 Current yield supported by stable cash flow from a diversified portfolio of assets 2 5% 8% annual distribution growth 3 Capital appreciation of our asset base 3

Overview of Brookfield Property Partners 4

Global Owner, Developer and Operator of Diversified, High-Quality Real Estate $66B 1 TOTAL ASSETS 1 $22B UNITHOLDER EQUITY 2 $0.295 QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION / UNIT 3 5.3% DISTRIBUTION YIELD Investment Portfolio Characteristics Core Office 146 premier office properties totaling 101 million square feet (msf) in gateway markets around the world as well as 10 msf of core office and multifamily development projects currently underway Core Retail 127 best-in-class retail properties totaling 125 msf throughout the United States (via 34% fully diluted interest in GGP) Opportunistic High-quality assets with operational upside across multifamily, industrial, hospitality, triple net lease, self storage, student housing and manufactured housing sectors 1) As of March 31, 2017 and on a proportionate basis. 2) As of March 31, 2017. 3) As of closing price on NYSE on March 31, 2017 and assuming $1.18 annual distribution per unit. 5

Investment Segments Stable cash flows on core portfolios enhanced by investment in opportunistic strategies Core Office and Core Retail Opportunistic Brookfield Place, New York Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas St. Mary s Square, North Carolina Targeting 10% to 12% Total Returns Currently 80% of BPY s balance sheet Invested in high-quality, well-located trophy assets and development projects Targeting 20% Total Returns Currently 20% of BPY s balance sheet Invested in mispriced portfolios and/or properties with significant value-add 6

Proven Investment Approach Value-oriented, counter-cyclical investors Specialize in executing multi-faceted transactions that allow us to acquire high-quality assets at a discount to replacement cost Leverage our business units to enhance the value of our investments Flexibility to allocate capital to the sectors and geographies with the best risk-adjusted returns at various points in the real estate cycle Continually recycle capital from stabilized assets to higheryielding opportunities in order to build long-term value for unitholders 8

Conservative Financing Strategy We finance our investments predominantly with asset-level, non-recourse debt We raise debt financing in local currency with primarily fixed interest rates We source the lowest-cost capital to fund growth Recycle capital from stabilized assets Consider issuing equity if expected returns exceed our cost of capital We target a distribution payout ratio of 80% of Company FFO Retain sufficient cash flow for tenant improvements and leasing costs Raise third-party capital for acquisitions and large-scale developments Our investment-grade corporate credit rating provides financing flexibility The quality and diversification of our assets support our target of achieving long-term proportionate debt-to-capital of up to 50% 9

Organic Growth 10

BPY s Unique Growth Drivers Strong global operating capabilities enable us to acquire real estate in need of leasing, capital or repositioning, to generate core-plus returns Extensive development pipeline assembled over time in premium, supply-constrained markets Access to opportunistic real estate returns through ability to invest in Brookfield-sponsored real estate funds 11

A Compelling Combination of Current Yield and Organic Growth Yield backed by stable and secure cash flow from a portfolio of high quality assets Attractive entry point at significant discount to IFRS value A $22 per unit investment today has the potential to offer a very attractive return to unitholders: $ 77 Current Yield (5% 8% distribution growth) 13% CAGR $ 45 Appreciation (Multiple of 8 11% FFO growth) $ 22 Investment (as of NYSE price on 3/31/17) Today Year 5 1 Year 10 1 1) Based on midpoint of targeted distribution and earnings growth. 12

Future Drivers of Earnings Growth To date, we have benefited from earnings growth driven by lease-up of Brookfield Place New York and reallocation of capital to higher-returning opportunistic strategies Over the next five years, growth will be driven by three things: Company FFO / Unit 8-11% CAGR $1.36 $2.00 - $2.30 Contribution from active developments Reinvestment of capital at higher returns $1.11 $1.18 Same-store growth of 2% - 3% 2014 2015 2016 2021 1 1) Based on midpoint of targeted distribution and earnings growth. 13

Distribution / Earnings Ratio Conservative payout ratio and diversity of cash flows provides support for current yield Distribution growth in-line with earnings growth: $2.00 - $2.30 $1.60 - $1.85 ($ per unit) Funds from operations $ 2.00 $1.18 $1.06 $1.36 $1.12 5-8% CAGR 90% 82% 80% Average annual realized gains 0.35 Second generation leasing costs (0.35) Sustaining capital expenditures (0.15) Annual non-cash rents (0.10) Adjusted AFFO $1.75 2015 2016 2021 Historic Distribution Future Distribution Company FFO 14

Looking forward, we are positioned to increase earnings from leasing and development activities in our core office and retail businesses... and to realize value from the capital we have invested in our opportunistic strategy 15

Operating Segments 16

Core Office Portfolio Iconic assets in gateway markets Darling Park, Sydney Brookfield Place, New York Brookfield Place, Toronto Canary Wharf, London 17

Core Office Portfolio 146 premier office properties totaling more than 100 msf in gateway cities around the globe, including: New York, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, Houston, Sydney, Washington, DC and Berlin Portfolio is 92% leased with an average lease term of over 8 years Embedded 17% mark-to-market opportunity on expiring leases Properties generally financed with non-recourse, asset-level debt We offer an integrated, multifaceted real estate business with comprehensive operating and real estate management capabilities Our diversified global structure gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace as we are able to leverage relationships across geographies and business lines Of our top 20 office tenants, 13 are tenants in Brookfield buildings in more than one city; 9 are tenants in at least three cities 18

Core Retail Portfolio Trophy retail assets that mirror the quality of our office properties The Woodlands Mall, Houston Ala Moana, Honolulu Jordan Creek, Des Moines Miami Design District 19

Core Retail Portfolio 127 best-in-class malls and urban retail properties totaling over 125 msf throughout the United States 95% same-property occupancy Average rent spreads of 20% on leases commencing in 2016 2017 Highly productive stores with $591 average tenant sales/sf Investment through 34% fully-diluted interest in GGP Inc. 20

Class A+ Shopping Centers Our class A+ mall portfolio represents approximately 100 of the top 500 malls in the United States. Although total retail space in the U.S. is likely to contract in the coming years, high-quality malls continue to demonstrate meaningful outperformance and serve as the centerpiece of all retail activity in the U.S. The declining performance of traditional department stores has created opportunities to recapture square footage within our existing centers and improve their productivity by introducing more dining, entertainment and fitness venues as well as e-retailer pop-up and permanent stores Development and redevelopment initiatives in our core retail portfolio total $1.3 billion (~$442 million at BPY s share), of which $0.7 billion is currently under construction with a further $0.6 billion in the pipeline. The projects are earning 6% 10% yields on cost Inserting new technology into our malls has been a major driver to elevate the shopping experience from retail and dining to entertainment and leisure 21

Opportunistic Portfolio Acquiring mispriced assets with upside to earn outsized returns The Diplomat, Florida Center Parcs, UK Triple Net Lease Portfolio, U.S. Roosevelt Landing, New York 22

Opportunistic Strategy Acquire high-quality assets at a discount to replacement cost or intrinsic value Invest on a Value Basis Execute multifaceted transactions that utilize structuring capabilities Seek contrarian investments via market dislocations and other inefficiencies Leverage Brookfield Platform Focus on geographies and sectors where Brookfield has informational, operational and other competitive advantages Utilize Brookfield s relationships to originate proprietary investments Target large-scale investments Execute clearly defined strategies for operational improvement: Enhance Value through Operating Capabilities Leasing: increasing occupancy and rental rates Development: expanding or redeveloping properties Achieve opportunistic returns through NOI growth 23

Funding Our Opportunistic Strategy We have approximately $4.9 billion of capital invested in opportunistic real estate strategies The majority of this capital is invested primarily through LP investments in Brookfield s real estate funds franchise These funds have finite lives with five-year average investment holds and generally are targeting 20%+ returns and 2.0x MOCs As these funds mature and begin to return capital, proceeds will be redeployed in future funds or in other investments BPY s opportunistic investment strategy will largely be self-funding as we have begun harvesting investments from legacy funds 24

Developments and Redevelopments 25

Development Strategy We opportunistically pursue developments to: Earn premium risk-adjusted returns compared to acquisitions Upgrade our portfolio with new, trophy assets in key strategic markets Development strategy seeks to limit risk: Typically secure anchor leases for 40% 50% of space before launching project Execute guaranteed maximum price contracts to reduce construction risk Bring in JV partners once project is substantially de-risked Limit developments to less than 10% of total assets Prominent, large-scale projects primarily in the high-growth markets of London and New York City Active office and multifamily projects expected to produce over $320 million of incremental NOI upon completion 26

Completion date and anticipated return on cost are presented instead of cash stabilization and yield on cost, respectively, for these developments. 27

Redevelopment Strategy We leverage our in-house design, construction, operations, leasing and real estate management teams to perform a 360-degree assessment of a property s refurbishment and repositioning potential We time our initial investment to maximize returns (e.g. upon an anchor tenant s relocation announcement) We are able to charge higher rents and subsequently earn higher returns on our investment following the repositioning effort Our integrated capabilities provide the opportunity to redevelop high-quality, well-located assets that have leasing challenges or CapEx needs 28

Redevelopment: 5 Manhattan West With 100,000+ sf floor plates and 16-foot ceilings, property is ideally suited for tech and media tenants Investing $312 million to upgrade building, incorporating it into Manhattan West project New glass façade New lobby Replaced elevators and HVAC Anticipated connection to High Line 5 Manhattan West, New York (Before redevelopment) Executed leases with tech- and media-sector tenants totaling more than 400,000 sf Currently negotiating leases with asking rates starting at $90/psf Expect to generate incremental NOI of $56 million or an 18% yield on cost 5 Manhattan West, New York (Post-redevelopment rendering) 29

Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate properties including local real estate conditions; the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the countries in which we do business; the ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms; business competition; dependence on tenants financial condition; the use of debt to finance our business; the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchanges rates; uncertainties of real estate development or redevelopment; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; risks relating to our insurance coverage; the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments including terrorist acts; potential environmental liabilities; changes in tax laws and other tax related risks; dependence on management personnel; illiquidity of investments; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits therefrom; operational and reputational risks; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States.

This presentation makes reference to net operating income ( NOI ), funds from operations ( FFO ), and Company FFO. NOI, FFO and Company FFO do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Partnership uses NOI, FFO and Company FFO to assess its operating results. These measures should not be used as alternatives to Net Income and other operating measures determined in accordance with IFRS but rather to provide supplemental insights into performance. Further, these measures do not represent liquidity measures or cash flow from operations and are not intended to be representative of the funds available for distribution to unitholders either in aggregate or on a per unit basis, where presented. For further reference, specific definitions of NOI, FFO, and Company FFO are available in the Partnership s press releases announcing its financial results each quarter. 35
